Parador De Leon
16TH C. MONASTERY-HOSPITAL
Building began around 1515 on this monument building which features a
Plateresque façade. The past makes its appearance in the Cloister, Church,
Choir and Chapterhouse, and the present in the careful renovation-work,
combined with an interior packed with works of art and rooms which gave
shelter to pilgrims in times of old. A night's stay here is a real luxury:
suites with views of the cloister, stately rooms, and a restaurant which
offers: Cocido Maragato (stew), frog's legs, cured meats of beef and mountain
meats.
